Im writing a basic 5 paragraph paper on the novel "Out of the Dust" by Karen Hesse and i'm having trouble creating a thesis statement/sentence mostly because im not to sure how to create one. It has to be on the conflicts the main character, Billy Jo ( girl ) faces throughout the book.

Heres what I got so far:

In the novel Out of the Dust, written by Karen Hesse, Billy Jo faces many conflicts including catching her mother on fire, horrible dust storms, and having to adjust to a life with a new mother.

Does the format of that look right and is it set up how a thesis statement should be? If not please tell me what I did wrong and if you could, include an example.

Thanks much
-very confused student-

If you are familiar with ECOTOPIA (written by Ernest Callenbach, 1975, and his pre-quell) YOU will know of what I ask. If not ... start reading ... this "Literary Classic" focused on by University/College Utopian Studies courses.

Despite the history of slavery in the south, many free African Americans chose to stay there after the Civil War. What factors might have caused them to make this choice?

I think it's because they were able to get jobs in the south or they were just more familiar with the south or they were standing up against racism. Not sure, who knows?

kIs it an ego thing? I fail to understand it and know that many people enjoy it and that is good for them but how pointless is it actually given we all come from God,thru Adam and eve. Most important is when we are born again-any previous geneology connections are, therefore, null and void to a Christian.
